Mr Jackson said he did not know whether all the present supply teachers would or would not teach full time Then we should certainly consider the cancellation of the kindergarten classes until the

overcrowding in the schools Then we would have two more rooms while the new rooms are being constructed he said It would not be doing anyone an unnecessary injustice because the inspector could rule that the kindergarten be cancelled for the full year he added Trustee was in favor of hiring the extra teachers re quired in September rather than bringing them in cold in the middle of the school

hook At least two of our mer chant friends said the aforesaid has remarked yours truly has something to do with getting out the book or is spon soring it This statement is ab solutely false progress to raise funds for minor sports here which yours truly was connected with have read about it in the Era and Express and we would have had the courtesy to call on you and not try to do it via a telephone call Your scribe Is hot connected with any campaign to sell ads or solicit funds for any book or booklet Several other merch ants have phoned to say the can vasser hasnt used any names in connection with his campaign but has left the impression the funds collected will returned to Newmarket boys and girls via grants from the Ontario Soft ball association for equipment This is absolutely untrue if there was any campaign in There was some discussion as to whether or not the towns de benture debt is too high for new school debentures to be taken out The present debenture debt in Newmarket is over Allan Perks said that af ter the debenture debt of a mu nicipality reaches a certain per centage of the assessment debentures cannot be taken out He said he did not know the per centage but would investigate the matter Tlie hiring of extra teachers for additional classrooms was also discussed by the board may hire teachers in September or wait until the new wing is completed

effected at considerable price reductions However it is hoped that there will be some improvement In the export situa tion in coming year he said J AI J No doubt this is a province- wide campaign and in different districts the canvasser uses vari ous sports or sportsmens names in connection with his campaign It so happens that yours truly is district convener for the A playoffs and our name ap pears in the OASA bulletins and that probably explains how he obtained our name However as we have staled previously we are not connected with any campaign to raise funds for any softball book Some prominent merchants said they were told that already had been made by other citizens One merchant was told that a mother of one of boys who plays on one of the local baseball teams would col lect the contributions One Newmarket merchant had agreed to make a contribution and a clerk in his store had given the donation When he saw that the receipt did not give the name of a lotol organization he ran
